Hey Megyn Kelly,

14-year-old Eloise would like a word:

“If my voice makes you uncomfortable, good…
because the minute adults start defending predators by defending the age of a child, you’re not protecting the truth, you’re protecting the predator.”

Sound up! 🔥🔊

I’ve been saying this privately for a while. 2026 is going to be an anti-incumbent election.

If you’re not going to show up for the fight, don’t run. Change is coming…

Anne Applebaum as usual on the mark. I would add: most elected Republicans quietly fold the millisecond this happens to them. So in speaking up MTG is GOP unusual.
Just in the past 3 days, I happened to speak to an academic, a US politician and a former Biden official who had all received death threats and severe harassment from the MAGA movement. It's now a common experience. I am sorry MTG has to live through the same thing, but she can't be surprised
MTG: “.. “I am now being contacted by private security firms with warnings for my safety as a hot bed of threats against me are being fueled and egged on by the most powerful man in the world. .. The man I supported and helped get elected.”

On the heels of Tom Homan accepting $50k cash in a bag, Sec. Noem is now funneling hundreds of millions of dollars to an unknown LLC that hired a close ally.

This is no doubt the tip of the iceberg of rampant corruption in DHS.

Chairman Garbarino must investigate.
NEW: We’ve uncovered the first known example of taxpayer money flowing from DHS to businesses controlled by Kristi Noem’s allies and friends.

It’s part of a money trail that’s been shrouded in secrecy—and involves $220 million, a mysterious Delaware LLC & a horse named Gill.

When I visited PEN Ukraine in Kyiv in September 2023, I was photographed by Kostiatyn Huzenko, who documented the war. He enlisted in the Ukrainian armed forces this April and was killed on November 1 by a Russian missile. Courage, truth, memory

Wouldn’t be surprised if Republicans walked out of Congress and declared Trump king — the moment democracy finally dies. That’s the dream of Peter Thiel and the Heritage Foundation. The ICE army will enforce the new order while 80% of Americans watch the republic fall.
